Day 5 On to the capital Today we continue our journey South to Vientiane. Without doubt Vientiane is one of Southeast Asia’s quietest capital cities. Hugging a wide bend of the Mekong River, it looks more like a rambling collection of villages, dotted with a few grandiose monuments, than the engine room of a nation. On the way we stop for a very local lunch at a dam, then we continue our journey to Vientiane.
After check in to our hotel we have some time to wander around the town and in the evening we meet for dinner at a local restaurant.
